This is our passion. That's the spirit we bring to this show. I'm Luke Thomas. I'm Brian Campbell. This is Morning Combat.

Back like a bad habit, but hopefully we are one of your good habits. That's a terrible intro, but we're gonna do it just the same.

Hello, everyone. My name is Luke Thomas. It is Tuesday, the 7th of September, 2021, and it is time for Morning Combat. My name is, as I mentioned, I'm Luke Thomas. I'm from CBS Sports and Showtime.

The gentleman on this side of the screen is your resident, resident, king of Connecticut. My friend in yours. It's Brian Campbell, BC. Nice to see you. Good friend. How are you?

Yeah, thank you so much, Luke. I'm doing great. Don't you know, when you go, it's the perfect ending to the bad day. Like show crow said, Luke, I hope that MK is everyone's favorite mistake because this show, you know, is accidentally awesome. Only it ain't no accident. Okay. There's art behind this. There's passion. There's fuel. So as I always say, if this ain't your favorite combat sports show up to this point, it will be.

Wasn't it Amy Grant, who also said, you know, you don't know what you got to let's go on pink for your dice, pull up a parking lot. How about a genius named Joni Mitchell, who actually wrote that?

She covered Jimmy Mitchell. Yes, that's right. Not today. I got it from Amy Gray. But hey, shout out to our friends. Shout out to our friends in the music business, O'Teal Burberidge, friend of the show, dead and company back on tour, Luke, I didn't get to get to catch them and hard for this weekend, because I had other plans. But great to see and just like dead and company, Luke, chords, strings.

We brings, right? Melody MK rhythm is life, right? Well, it's a shame that you miss them in Hartford, but the good news is we won't miss dying fetus when they play the 18th at Webster Hall. I'm looking forward to that experience, formative experience with you. You know what I'm saying? It's gonna be awesome.

Yeah, maybe, yeah, meet me at the waterbury open. Yeah, indeed. All right. Great. All right. Well, we got a lot to get to today. We have tons of stuff. Of course, over the weekend, there was a big UFC show. We got some trailer headlines.

We have your questions from DMs from dogs. We have, have you seen this shit? We have a lot of stuff to get to.

Luke, we haven't loaded. Have you seen this shit? Okay? Like, I mean, it is, it's like a loaded diaper full of shit, because that's what happens when we take a week off of this segment.

So I'm trying to think it's going to be a lot of elder abuse. I'm guessing and then a lot of drunk women falling.

Is that maybe some milk crates involved? There may be some right. My tats going on. So there should be fun.

All right. I'm, look, I'm genuinely, and I mean, this looking forward to that should be a lot of fun. All right. First things first, if you're new here or not, either way, please give the video a thumbs up.

And if you are new here to the MK experience, you look, you know, kicking the tires, seeing what's up, hit that subscribe, but we have tons of content for you.

We have a show obviously today. We have a show tomorrow, as well, BC, and we have a show on Friday and plus my live chat will be on Thursday.

So basically the entire rest of the week, we have live programming for you, plus a lot of stuff in between. Of course, you can see it's there on social media, on our lower thirds note that Brian and I have different names between ourselves anyway for Twitter and Instagram.

If you want to try a showtime to get some of that showtime championship boxing, some of that bell tour, something else that they offer on the app, whatever you want, you can do that.

You can go to showtime.com, get a 30 day free trial. If you like it, you can keep it. If not, you can go pound sand. That's up there for you to do.

You want to check out merch BC. I know you know about this. They can go to morningcombat.store and it turns out, depending on when you check it, there's all kinds of new stuff we didn't even know was on there.

Yeah, we're trying to iron things out. The people have had questions. Why is it like this? Why is it like that? We're going to get to the bottom of it.

But if you check right now, morningcombat.store, there is some new merch that even Luke and I didn't know about. You want to have BC on a Hawaiian shirt? You can buy that right now.
